Human settlement and Mid-Late Holocene coastal environmental change at Cape Krusenstern, Northwest Alaska
A Wandering View
This article discusses four different representations of Jews and Jewishness as seen on British television since 1960. The first three – Victor Gollancz's appearance on Face to Face (1960), an episode of the situation comedy Please Sir!

The final section argues for the subconscious presence of Jew…

The Prisoner (1952) and the Perpetrator in Early Post-war British Television
Since its post-war resumption in 1946, British television has presented a remarkable range of factual and fictional Holocaust perpetrators. This essay considers some of the earliest of those images, moving backwards from the early 1960s to the 1950s. It focuses on the output of the BBC and the content and impact of the 1952 drama The Prisoner. Set in contemporary Israel, this play provoked outrage among British Jewry for its depiction of an Israe…
Another man’s faith? The image of Judaism in the BBC television series Men Seeking God
The 1954 BBC television series Men Seeking God saw Labour MP Christopher Mayhew interview devout believers of the world’s great living religions. The present article uses press coverage, Mayhew’s and the BBC’s archives, and the surviving 15 minutes of footage to reconstruct and discuss episode three on Judaism, arguing that it conflates Judaism, Jewishness, Anglo-Jewish and Israeli identity
Assimilated, Integrated, Other
Through the use of production files, correspondence and press cuttings held at the BBC's Written Archives Centre, this article provides an overview to the variety of Jews and Jewish life seen on British television from 1946 to 1955, including examples of television's first engagement with the Nazi persecution of the Jews of Europe. In so doing it demonstrates not only the diversity of representations, and thereby the multiple Jewish identities on…

What we have gained is infinitely more than that small loss’

The Sequence of the Human Genome
A 2.91-billion base pair (bp) consensus sequence of the euchromatic portion of the human genome was generated by the whole-genome shotgun sequencing method. The 14.8-billion bp DNA sequence was generated over 9 months from 27,271,853 high-quality sequence reads (5.11-fold coverage of the genome) from both ends of plasmid clones made from the DNA of five individuals. Two assembly strategies—a whole-genome assembly and a regional chromosome assembl…
